Doc to Doc

We are a peer-led revision society dedicated to first year, semester 2 students. Utilising both lectures and group work questions, Doc-to-Doc aims to provide students with a holistic style of learning to help them understand and consolidate year 1 material.Running for 10 consecutive weeks with the same 40 students, Doc-to-Doc helps give a unique approach to revising year 1 teaching by using 2nd year tutors. The 2nd years give lectures on topics that historically students have found hard rather than covering whole modules themselves. This allows more time to learn specific hard-to-grasp concepts rather than trying to fit in content that a lot of students are able to pick up easily.This is then backed up by group work which includes SAQ and SBA style questions as well as history taking practice. This means that students become familiar with and better understand the difficult concepts that are covered, in addition to learning practical skills.An IUA is planned after the Easter holidays to allow pupils to complete an all-encompassing approach to learning, covering all the ways that they will be formally assessed come the summer. The added value of having tutor groups means that all students involved will have a motivated and willing mentor to do extra sessions outside of Doc-to-Doc if needed, and support even after the teaching for the year has ended.

Timings: Every Thursday in Semester 2 from 6-9pm in the George Davies CentreIUA to take place in early May
